The Quay House : Superior Accommodation Clifden

Built for the Harbour Master nearly
200 years ago, The Quay House has been sensitively restored
and now offers guest accommodation in fourteen bedrooms (all different) with full bathrooms
- all but two overlook the Harbour.

Family portraits, period furniture, cosy fires and a warm Irish welcome make for a unique atmosphere of comfort and fun.

The owners, Paddy and Julia Foyle, are always on hand for advice on fishing, golfing, riding, walking, swimming, sailing, dining, etc - all close by.

The Quay House is Clifden's oldest building, dating from
C1820. It was originally the Harbour Master's house but later
became a Franciscan monastery, then a convent and finally
a hotel owned by the Pye family. Now providing Town House
Accommodation in Clifen, it is run by the Foyle family, whose forebears have been entertaining
guests in Connemara for nearly a century.

The Quay House stands
right on the harbour, just 7 minutes walk from Clifden town centre.
All rooms are individually furnished with some good antiques
and original paintings; several have working fireplaces. All
have large bathrooms with tubs and showers and there are also
two ground floor rooms for wheelchair users.

"Next we move to Connemara, and Clifden’s
oldest house, which is right on the harbour, with pretty water
views when the tide is in. It is superbly comfortable and
run with exceptional warmth and generosity by Paddy &
Julia Foyle, who are renowned for their sheer style...airy,
wittily decorated and sumptuously furnished rooms include
not only two wheelchair-friendly rooms, but also seven newer
studio rooms, with little kitchens, and balconies overlooking
the harbour.

Consistently excellent service is also a feature of this
fine house, and their renowned breakfasts - which include
a tempting buffet as well as a delectable range of hot dishes
and home bakes straight from the Aga - are served in a charming
conservatory, decorated with a collection of silver domes
and trailing Virginia creeper criss-crossing the room on string.
The Quay House is a very worthy winner of two titles: "Guesthouse of the Year & National Winner of
our Irish Breakfast Awards" - extract from Georgina Campbell's Ireland
